NBA Game Summary - Oklahoma City at Denver

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Denver's recent eight-game skid is suddenly a distant memory, as the Nuggets cruised to their fourth straight win Thursday with a 101-88 dismantling of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ty Lawson posted his fifth consecutive double-double with 16 points and 14
assists while Randy Foye made six of Denver's 14 3-pointers during his 24-
point effort.

Evan Fournier made a career-high four triples for 19 points off the Nuggets'
bench, which outscored Oklahoma City's reserves by a 39-27 margin.

Kevin Durant scored a game-high 30 points for Oklahoma City, which shot just
35.3 percent from the floor and fell to 4-4 without injured guard Russell
Westbrook.

The Nuggets led, 27-26, at the end of the first quarter despite 16 points from
Durant, then ended the half on a 10-4 run to head into the break with a 60-51
cushion.

The third quarter was all Denver, which came out of the locker room and scored
10 of the first 12 points to extend the lead to 14 points.

The Nuggets wound up hitting six 3-pointers during the quarter, including
three in a row in one sequence -- two from Foye and another from Fournier --
and brought an 89-66 advantage into the fourth.

No one other than Reggie Jackson or Durant scored for the Thunder in the
third, and both were on the bench in the final stanza with the outcome no
longer in doubt.
